The Mandalorian could finally deliver a defining Star Wars moment that the movies are ignoring

Based on the green we’re seeing around the domed city, it seems like we can finally see what Mandalore was like before the planet was completely ravaged by violence. This would be a massive addition to the onscreen lore of war of stars. Though the movies don’t go into much detail about Mandalore beyond Jango Fett’s backstory attack of the Clone warriorsthe planet and its people have long been a big part of war of stars Lore that exists beyond the movies, the key to many of the major events that shape the larger universe of TV series, books, and comics. For those tuned into the expanded universe stories, Mandalore will no doubt feel as important to the galaxy far, far away as Tatooine and Coruscant.

How The Mandalorian, The clone wars And rebels introduced much Mandalorian lore war of stars Canon that continues to expand on the world George Lucas created. Because of these shows, we generally know what happens to Mandalore and its people during the heights of the Republic and Empire, but we haven’t seen much of what the planet was like before that or why Tarre Vizsla was the first and only Mandalorian Jedi.

Given Bo-Katan Kryze’s (Katee Sackhoff) connection to the New Mandalorians vs. Death Watch conflict, her quest to reunite Mandalore with the Darksaber, and the fact that Grogu could become the next Mandalorian Jedi, it makes sense that the series finally steps us into this era of Mandalore’s history, even if it’s only for a brief flashback.

The Mandalorian Season 3 comes to Disney+ on March 1st.
